As an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
I read recently that the internet will soon be switched off in the USA to prevent Americans from using it
Is it right that we allow Americans to use the internet?
Everybody is aware of Americans and their stupidity, but i believe they deserve the freedom of. speech and we deserve a good laugh now and again.

Are you sure?
Last I checked, about 60 percent of all the Internet traffic in the world went through servers in Northern Virginia.
If you cut them off, who would you make fun of every day?

I like American people, they have a brilliant sense of Humour
I like to hear about the different states and how people live there. I love sex in the city, does anyone remember Rhoda loved it. The Golden Girls and cagney & lacey I loved that because they were real women, you could relate to. I loved david Haselhof when he had that car. Wouldnt have minded a few hours between the sheets with him then(not now hes sad now) Yep I would like to see all these things on Internet again.

Although I'm not an American, nor an Englishman, I, too, think this guy is an idiot. Either that, or he has a crappy sense of humor.
Nevertheless, for all of you thinking that the Internet was invented in the US, think again: Tim Berners Lee, in '89, at the European Nuclear Physics Center. Pentagon's Arpanet project, in the early '60s had nothing to do with the modern Internet and, moreover, came as an American reaction to Russia's satellite launch in '59.
But, to answer the question, yeah they should be allowed to use the Internet. But (as a global request for all countries), each surfer should prove an IQ bigger than 70.
"Cheers, mate!"

I dont think this is a great idea...I mean, Americans did invent the Internet. Why should they not be allowed to communicate through the net?
The nation who should be cut off the internet is probably China.
87% of Viruses are related to Chinese people destroying the net, And Computers to mention.

You mention needing a good laugh now and again. I guess the joke is on us for allowing idiots like you to have the freedom to come to this great nation to do your so called business. If indeed you are here, I would guess the UK is a better place to be and they are dreading the return of an obvious fool.

I think you need to go and write an extensive blog entitled "The USA sucks", or similar and stop spamming this site.

The Yanks are stupid wanks and love making a fool outta themselves. Their English can send even a non-English speaking person ROFL.
But internet should not be banned in the US. Because if the Americans won't be online, who will we laugh at???

I think it's unfair to suggest that the USA have any lesser right to access the internet than anyone else. You just need to look at China and how they're stopped their residents from accessing sites like wikipedia, it's wrong!

I'm beginning to think the US should have never interfered with any foreign conflicts. Not only were Iraq and Vietnam mistakes ... maybe Europe, too.
Was denken Sie?
